The organization OF a smelling committee,
similar ITO the one whose operations have lately
stirred political Boston to its CENTER IS promised
here In washington. The leaders in the move
ment are resident Illinois democrats who propose
TO have report made to their association on the
partisan antecedents and standing OF every ILL.,
nois man now employed in the government SER
vice. There can be no possible objection to their
doing this OF course, for presumptivey no servant
OF the government has anything In his record
which he would wish to conceal 1t may, also,
lead TO the detection and dismissal OF some who
have slipped into comfortable places on false ale
cations OF residence-a trick which, we have the
word OF the Civil Service Commissioners for It, IS
not so uncommon as o strict moraliSt might wish.
But It's best fruit win be the publicity which will
be given thereafter to the causes OF the removal
OF Illinois men from Office. The committee is not
likely 10 hide its light under a Dushel. II VIII

above the struggling Bessie's head. The

he let go of Bessie in his peplexity and fear
and turned round to try and discover
whence the sound proceeded circum-
stance that the young lady took advan-
tage of to beat a rapid if not very digni-
fed retreat.
"Frankl Frank! Frank" walled and
howled the voice, now overheard now on
this side, now on that, till at last Muller,
thoroughly mystifed, and feeling bis su-
perstitious fears rising apace as the moan
ing sound fitted about beneath the dark
arch Of the gum trees, made a rush for his
horse, which was standing snorting and
trembling in every limb. 1t is almost as
easy to work upon the superstitious fears
of a dog or a horse as upon those of a man,
but Muller, not being aware Of this, took
the animals alarm as a clear indication OF
the uncanny nature OF the voice. With a
single bound he sprang into his saddle,
and as he did so the woman's voice walled
out once more:

FRANK MULLER SHOWS HIS HAND
Presently Muller turned round. "Do
You know why l have told you this, ON
Silas2" he asked.
'Nu."
"Because / want you TO understand that
you and all the Englishmen in this country
are in a very dangerous position. The wal

never had been said. II that was so it
would be rather awkward, supposing !
we're to say yes you know"
'Of course l am sure,' he said, indig-
nantly.
"You see" went on Bessie, pOking at
the sod wall with the stick she held in her
hand, perhaps in this place you might be
putting an exaggerated value On me. You
think l am pretty because you see nobody
but Kafir and BOer women, and it would
he the same with everything. Pm not fit

with q sudden burst Of distress; II have
never seen anything or anybody. l am
nothing but an ignorant, hal-educated
farmer girl, with nothing to recommend
me, and no fortune except my looks. You
are different to me; You are a man Of the
world, and if you ever went back to Eng
land l should be a drag on You, and you
would be ashamed of me and my colonial
ways. If it had been jess now, it would
have been different, for she has more brains
in her little finger than / have in my
whole body"
Somehow this mention of jess Jared
! upon Johns nerves, and chilled him like a
breath of cold wind on a hot day. He
wanted to put jess out of his mind just
now.
my dear Bessie, " he broke in, why do
you suppose such things? / a assure
you that, if you appeared in a London
dra Sing-rOom, you would put most Of the
women in it into the shade. Not that
there is much chance Of my f~requentlng

"Oh, yes! / may be g~oOd-lOOking; don't
say that / am not; but can't you under

because I am a pretty woman, as the
! Kafirs marry their wives. If you marry
me at all / want yOa to marry me because
YOU care for NE, the real me, not my eyes
and my hair. Oh, I don't know what to
answer you, l don't, indeed" and she be
gan "a cry softly.

was pretty well beside himself by this
time, "just tell me h~onestly-do You care
about me? am not worth much, know,
but ityou do al this Just goes for nothing, +"
and he took her hand and drew her to-
wards him, so that she half slipped, hall
got off the sod wall and stood face to face
with him, for she was q tall woman, and
they were very nearly ola height.
Twice she raised her beautiful eyes to

No subject of human thought has
perhaps received more attention
than that of education. Every one
has the material for speculation III
regard to it, in his own experience;
but individual experience is too
limited a basis on which to
found a general theory of instruc,
tons; an individual is perhaps able
to judge correctly of the effect of
the course of instructions to which
he has been subjecred. Shake
speare's gems might have been
shackeled by the scholastic cur
riculum of Harvard or Yale.

lieve that every boy should be
compelled to attempt to learn a

proficiency and success of every
